So you reversed polarity. You may end up repairing or replacing a lot of things. At this point you are at the mercy of your mechanic so find a good and honest one.

Chances are you blew out the 120 amp fuse located under the hood in the Fuse/Relay Box. Not easy to replace. I think it is bolted in and requires disassembly of the Fuse/Relay box. I agree with the above. Best to have it towed to a repair shop.

On the other had...if the vehicle starts up and runs....it might need a "Re-learn" procedure performed. However...if you smelled something bad....that's not a good sign. Get her checked out by a competent Auto Technician. Good Luck...and get back to us with results.
